Syllabus

<p>1. Bankruptcy—Paying Out Funds by Trustee—Failure to Comply with Rules.</p> <p>A payment to a bankrupt by his trustee of a sum claimed as an exemption, from the funds of the estate, will not be allowed on settlement of the estate, where it does not appear that the exemption was set aside by the trustee as required by the bankruptcy act, or that the money was placed in the depository designated by the court, and paid out in the manner prescribed by the rules in bankruptcy.</p> <p>2. Same—Costs—Payments for Bonds.</p> <p>Amounts paid sureties on a bond cannot be taxed as costs. Giving such bonds in a surety company is a privilege and convenience, but the fee paid therefor is not taxable as costs under any rule of court.</p>
